Stark Expo No POV

Pepper, Nat, and Happy arrived at the Expo Main Pavilion as Nat and Pepper wore kind of similar outfits that showed their curves.

Happy: I'll keep the car down here, all right?

Pepper: thank you, Happy.

Announcer: Justin Hammer. His presentation will begin shortly in the main pavilion.

They both went in as Justin went into the stage as he walked-dance in such a stupid way even spins as he reaches the clear podium.

Justin; that's what I'm talking about. Thanks for coming. Ladies and gentlemen, for far too long, this country try has had to place its brave men and women in harm's way, but then the Iron Man arrived, and we thought the days of losing lives were behind us. Sadly, that technology was kept out of reach. That's not fair. That's not right. And it's just too bad.

Pepper: oh, lord.

Justin: regardless, it was an impressive innovation, one that grabbed headlines the world over. Well, today, my friends, the press is faced with quite a different problem. They are about to run out of ink.

There was a scattered applause as two people got the podium and took it away.

Justin: ladies and gentlemen, today I present to you the new face of the United States military. The Hammer Drone!

"The Caissons Go Rolling Along" started playing as the floor opened.

Justin: Army!

The Army Hammer Drones were beige with a long barrel on their left shoulders. Pepper and Nat looked a little worried over the Drones.

Justin: Navy!

The Navy Drones were blue-grey and had rocket launchers on their shoulders.

Justin: Air Force!

The Air Force Drones were grey and looked like they lacked weapons but it was clear they were equipped with flight capabilities that looked similar to Iron Man.

Justin: Marines!

The Marines Drones were camo color as they also seem to lack weapons but it was because they seem more tactical than anything.

Justin: yeah! Yeah! Whoo! That's a hell of a lot better than some cheerleaders, let me tell you.

Hammer didn't know that Vanko lied about the drones not being ready as they were and they were all under his control.

Justin: but as revolutionary as this technology is, there will always be a need for man to be present in the theater of war. Ladies and gentlemen, today I am proud to present to you the very first prototype in the Variable Threat Response Battle Suit and its pilot, Air Force Lieutenant Colonel James Rhodes.

The middle stage opened.

Pepper: what?

Rhodey's suit was turned from the Mark II Iron Man Armor into the new War Machine Armor decked out in a lot of weaponry and had a mounted Gatling gun on his right shoulder. Rhodey saluted as the drones did as well and so did Justin. They all dropped their arms.

Justin: for America and its allies, Hammer Industries is reporting for...

They heard a loud rumbling as they see two figures flying in. They hovered above the stage before they superhero landed as the crowd stood up and cheered loudly as Tony's armor now had a triangle in his chest part and Wade was wearing this armor.
